#261 - Letter from the Temple of the Gods
"You're here?"
Chu Meng came to the courtyard, looking at Gu An with slight surprise.
Gu An looked at her and said, "Why has Senior come?"
Chu Meng came to sit opposite Gu An, put down the plate in her hand, and then took out more plates, saying, "Of course, I've come to see you living in luxury. I heard that you are no longer who you used to be, and you control great power in the Sixth Institute.
You can be said to have achieved success and fame."
Gu An looked at the plates of dishes, slightly surprised.
The style was somewhat different from before.
"Did Senior change maids?" Gu An asked.
"You have sharp eyes. Why did you take a fancy to the fairies in the building?" Chu Meng casually picked up a peanut and said, "Behind your back, they've said countless times that you're useless, praising you on the surface but despising you in their hearts. As your superior,
I also feel a little ashamed to see you being looked down upon like this.
Also, I have four maids, Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter, four personal maids, each of whom can cook.
Today's dishes were made by the third maid."
Hearing this, Gu An was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that there would be four maids. This was the first time he had seen this in the sect.
It seemed that no one else had maids.
From this, it could be seen that Chu Meng's status was indeed extraordinary.
Gu An tried the pastries and found that they had a completely different taste.
But it was very delicious.
It gave people a strange but comfortable feeling.
Gu An tried the other dishes and found that they all tasted good.
Next were the peanuts.
He was stunned when he ate them, because they also had a different taste.
"Amazing," Gu An exclaimed, "Senior's third maid is indeed amazing."
"Why don't I hear you praising the second maid?" Chu Meng asked.
"Each has their own merits," Gu An said perfunctorily.
Naturally, he wouldn't say that the second maid's cooking was ordinary.
After all, she was just a maid, and there was no need to make things difficult for her.
"Have the six institutes started imprisoning people?" Chu Meng asked.
"Yes," Gu An nodded, "Is there a mission?"
"Yes, it's the mission from last time," Chu Meng replied.
Gu An was silent for a moment. How should he say it to get Chu Meng to repeat the mission from last time?
"Forgot?" Chu Meng asked while eating peanuts.
"No, I always keep in mind the mission that Senior mentioned," Gu An replied.
"Oh," Chu Meng nodded, "Then repeat it?"
Gu An was silent.
You really know how to make things difficult.
Then he lowered his head respectfully and said, "Senior has discerning eyes. I have been going to the Law Enforcement Hall a lot recently and am physically and mentally exhausted, so I have forgotten some things."
"Only a superior like me wouldn't blame you," Chu Meng shook her head and sighed, "I really envy you for having such a good superior.
Don't you think so?"
"Yes," Gu An nodded.
You even asked me to repeat the last mission. Whatever you say is whatever.
He really forgot, only remembering some fragments.
He was indeed too busy.
In just a few months, he was running around.
He was either trapped or captured.
Chu Meng was very satisfied with Gu An's performance, and then said:
"The mission is to find a woman named Dongfang Lingyun,
This woman has a secret from another great continent.
Actually, the main thing is to obtain that secret, but it is not easy to find her.
No one knows what identity she used.
That's the current mission.
The missions in the sect's secret realm have all been taken by the woman's underground network.
These people have been very active recently, and they are very worried after becoming members of the Demonic Sect.
They are afraid that something will happen.
They can only rely on that woman.
I have to say, that woman has a lot of influence. If you do your job well, you can basically get some care."
Gu An thought for a moment. Did he get any care?
Of course, he did.
Several problems were handled by that woman or Chu Meng.
Otherwise, he might have had an accident long ago.
With his abilities, it was too difficult to survive in a sect.
It was even more difficult to live with enough dignity.
"Dongfang Lingyun?" Gu An asked curiously, "Is there any use in the higher-ups getting this secret?"
"It can be sold, after all, there are many people who want this secret.
Also, this Dongfang Lingyun seems to be very strong. You probably won't be able to complete the mission.
At most, you can ask around in the Sixth Institute," Chu Meng replied.
"Is there much information about this person?" Gu An asked slightly curiously, "Just a name and that she's from another continent. Looking for her would undoubtedly be like finding a needle in a haystack."
"It's not like finding a needle in a haystack. Why else would I assign it to you? If you're stuck on this mission, won't you be unable to get the mission reward?" Chu Meng looked at Gu An and said, "This is the cruel relationship between superiors and subordinates. If you don't make your superior happy,
You, as a subordinate, will have a hard time for a while."
Gu An:
You are indeed a candid superior.
"If this mission is completed, will the rewards be great?" Gu An asked slightly.
"It's hard to say, it mainly depends on what you get," Chu Meng said seriously, "That bitch will evaluate it and then give rewards according to the value.
Anyway, no matter how much you earn, it won't be as much as she earns."
Gu An nodded, not surprised.
The higher-ups weren't doing charity.
They were already giving good rewards. If there wasn't that poison, it would actually be quite good.
After all, when the mission was issued, there was no mention of being punished if you couldn't complete it.
"You seemed to be going out just now?" Chu Meng picked up a pastry and took a bite.
"Yes, I got something. Does Senior want it?" As he said that, Gu An took out the jade pendant.
There was a blood-red vein inside.
"A bloodline magic weapon?" Chu Meng took it over, slightly surprised, "This is not a good thing. Ordinary people can't use it, not to mention it's easy to be targeted.
I don't want it."
As she said that, she threw it back to Gu An.
"Then I'll hand it over to the Law Enforcement Hall," Gu An said.
The Law Enforcement Hall should have some use for it.
Chu Meng naturally didn't care.
After eating for a long time, Chu Meng shook her head and sighed, "It's been so many years. As your superior, I'm very disappointed in you."
Gu An was stunned, and then poured a cup of tea for her.
"Don't do it again." Picking up the teacup, Chu Meng walked outside. Halfway there, Chu Meng turned her head and said:
"Remember to call me Senior Sister. Calling me Senior feels distant.
We are close allies.
Of course, when I'm dissatisfied with you, we are strict superiors and subordinates."
After saying these words, Chu Meng left.
Gu An wanted to go to the Law Enforcement Hall, but he found that Shu Ci had brought two people over.
They were the new people Gu An had recruited.
Yang Qi and Zeng Lan followed behind Shu Ci. Only Zeng Lan, who was at the Qi Refining stage, was extremely nervous.
"Senior Brother, fifty spirit stones, can I really earn that?" Zeng Lan asked softly.
"You should be able to earn it here. It's better than chopping wood in the inner sect," Yang Qi replied softly.
He was actually quite surprised.
Fifty spirit stones, what position could have so many spirit stones?
He had heard before that there were many spirit stones outside the peak, but he didn't know there were so many.
Zeng Lan felt even more like she was dreaming.
"Fifty spirit stones is not much. This is the newly established Sixth Institute, so it's only fifty," Shu Ci said with a smile, "If it were other places, there would be even more than this."
The two were shocked.
Zeng Lan hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Senior, I'm not even considered a Qi Refining inner sect disciple yet. Is that okay?"
"Our team leader says it's okay, so it's okay." Shu Ci replied with a smile, then paused, and she continued: "But you have to understand one thing, after coming here, you can't run off to cut wood at night without permission.
In addition, all the affairs of the sect must be put aside first.
You need to improve your Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when the main courtyard examines you one day, you will likely be expelled, after all, you are only at the Qi Refining stage.
Even if the team leader can protect you, the spirit stones given by the main courtyard will be reduced by half."
Hearing this, Zeng Lan felt the pressure.
But it's fifty spirit stones.
She only gets a dozen spirit stones a month in Thousand Dust Peak.
And she works herself to death.
It should only be a hundred days of busy work here, and she has time to improve her cultivation.
However, she was very curious about who had extended an invitation to her.
Asking Senior Brother Yang Qi didn't reveal anything either.
Soon, Shu Ci brought her to the courtyard.
"Come in." Gu An's voice came out.
Soon, Yang Qi and Zeng Lan walked in.
Yang Qi wasn't surprised, but Zeng Lan was a little incredulous.
Gu An?
Back then, she, Yu Tu, and Gu An had similar cultivation levels.
They were all in the night logging yard.
Later, Gu An went to the inner sect and was said to have established his foundation.
Then, she heard that he had formed his Golden Core.
But she didn't expect him to have such high authority here.
The position with fifty spirit stones, he just gave it away.
Gu An didn't pay attention to Yang Qi and the others first.
Instead, he looked at Shu Ci and said softly:
"Junior Sister Shu can go to the First Courtyard, Qiao He agreed to teach one more person."
"Team leader is joking, I just advanced to the early stage of the Golden Core, it's not time for advancement yet." Shu Ci shook her head and refused.
Gu An looked at her, thought for a moment, and said: "I didn't say to improve to the middle stage of the Golden Core, go, report to me whether he has completed it.
No other reports are needed, it won't affect anything."
Hearing this, Shu Ci was stunned.
A little unbelievable.
She had been hiding her cultivation level, and her true cultivation level was actually in the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Not far from the later stage.
So, the team leader's meaning is...
Let herself advance to the later stage?
The meaning of not needing to report is, no need to expose it, continue to hide it?
She didn't understand how the team leader knew.
But she still lowered her head and thanked him.
Then she retreated.
After Shu Ci left, Gu An turned his gaze to Yang Qi and Zeng Lan.
Yang Qi was fine, but Zeng Lan looked shocked.
"Junior Sister Zeng, long time no see." Gu An said softly.
"Gu, Senior Brother Gu, you..." She was a little incoherent.
Gu An said half-truthfully: "I just happen to have three positions here, because I don't know anyone else,
I can only look for you."
Zeng Lan asked curiously: "Three people?"
Yang Qi said with a smile: "Junior Sister Zeng forgot about Junior Brother Yu?"
"Yu Tu is also in Peak Outside Peak?" Zeng Lan was a little surprised.
Gu An nodded: "He is advancing to Foundation Establishment, working in Peak Outside Peak. It is very dangerous without Foundation Establishment, so Junior Sister must work hard.
By the way, I haven't officially explained it to you yet."
Gu An looked at them seriously and said: "The position here is in the First Courtyard of the newly built Six Courtyards,
That is, the place where prisoners are held.
You will work in the First Courtyard, receiving prisoners and guarding prisoners.
Their cultivation is sealed, so they need to be sent some food.
These are all your jobs.
People from the Second Courtyard will temporarily help you.
However, when they have tasks, you have to rely on yourselves.
In addition, there are also dangers in the First Courtyard. The people being held may have other means to escape, and the sect may also have people lurking in to rescue them.
Think carefully, if you agree, go to the First Courtyard and find that person just now.
Let them arrange positions for you."
"I have no problem." Yang Qi said.
"Me too." Zeng Lan said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for giving me this opportunity."
Gu An nodded.
In fact, it doesn't matter much what kind of cultivation level you are looking for.
After all, you definitely can't find someone too strong, and others basically can't resist the mysterious methods of those prisoners. In addition, if someone from outside tries to rescue the prisoners, they can't do anything about it either.
So, strength is not important for the time being.
For now, these people are more stable to use.
Afterwards, Gu An came to the Law Enforcement Hall.
He found that there were still many people being arrested here.
I'm afraid they will be sent to Peak Outside Peak soon.
He found someone and gave the things to Du Gujing.
The other party was slightly surprised: "Junior Brother can submit it together when submitting the report."
Gu An smiled and said: "It's for Senior Brother, I don't know if it's useful or not."
"It's useful, then I'll just pretend that I killed someone and got this thing." Du Gujing said with a smile.
Gu An nodded: "Thank you, Senior Brother."
After all, it is a bloodline magic weapon, and it is actually quite tricky.
Giving it to the other party is also self-preservation.
Lest the people behind the bloodline magic weapon come to him.
"By the way, the prisoners will be sent over again soon, and some people are more valuable." Saying that, Du Gujing gave Gu An a booklet: "Borrow it from Junior Brother for a few days."
Gu An was surprised, took it immediately, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Brother."
This booklet is some records.
In this way, you can know the relevant information of the prisoners.
You can get even more things.
Leaving the Law Enforcement Hall, Gu An returned to Sky Suspension Peak.
Throwing some peanuts to Noodle, Gu An came to the courtyard.
Fat Tiger was not there, but there was a stone at the root of the tree.
Gu An picked it up.
He found the aura of the Blood Fiend Great Shift.
That is to say, if you want to see the content inside, you need the Blood Fiend Great Shift.
Without hesitation, he activated the Blood Fiend Great Shift.
Soon, Gu An saw a line of words.
"I don't know which Divine Lord this is? I have just awakened, and I want to find a woman with the talent of eight tones. If you have any news, you can secretly contact my inherited disciple, Dongfang Lingyun."
Uh....
Gu An was slightly surprised.
Even dared not believe it.
Dongfang Lingyun?
Dongfang Lingyun from other great states?
My mission target?
This surprised Gu An a little.
But this person is so embarrassed that he doesn't mention what reward to give.
How can I help?
It's a pity that the Blood Demon Divine Lord can't reply, otherwise he can ask one or two questions,
Also, what is the secret method?
Turning to the back, Gu An saw another paragraph.
"Big brother, this is the news I, Little Blood, received. It seems that I am looking for the talent of eight tones, probably related to the Eight Tones Divine Lord. The secret method was determined by the Divine Lord Hall a long time ago. Each Divine Lord uses a different secret method. My secret method is related to the Blood Fiend Great Shift."
Below is the record of the secret method.
It's just a simple search and positioning.
But it requires specific people.
Gu An was quite emotional.
The mission person has been found.
But how can you get the other party to tell the secret?
Or maybe I find it out and let Chu Meng go to arrest people?
Not safe.
Still think of a way to contact him, and then try to get the answer.
Then should I find a woman with the talent of eight tones first?
Isn't this like looking for a needle in a haystack?
The main thing is, how should I determine that the other party has the talent of eight tones?
